Sigh ... I'm really not a good person. I'm inherently selfish.
My responsibility and obligation right now is to work on loki, and
then on the Tengai Makyou Zero translation, and then on improving the
Famicom emulation.
And yet ... it's not what I really want to do. That shouldn't matter;
I should work on my responsibilities first.
Instead, I'm going to be a greedy, self-centered asshole, and work on
what I really want to instead.
I'm really sorry, guys. I'm sure this will make a few people happy,
and probably upset even more people.
I'm also making zero guarantees that this ever gets finished. As always,
I wish I could keep these things secret, so if I fail / give up, I could
just drop it with no shame. But I would have to cut everyone out of the
WIP process completely to make it happen. So, here goes ...
This WIP adds the initial skeleton for Sega Mega Drive / Genesis
emulation. God help us.
(minor note: apparently the new extension for Mega Drive games is .md,
neat. That's what I chose for the folders too. I thought it was .smd,
so that'll be fixed in icarus for the next WIP.)
(aside: this is why I wanted to get v100 out. I didn't want this code in
a skeleton state in v100's source. Nor did I want really broken emulation,
which the first release is sure to be, tarring said release.)
...
So, basically, I've been ruminating on the legacy I want to leave behind
with higan. 3D systems are just plain out. I'm never going to support
them. They're too complex for my abilities, and they would run too slowly
with my design style. I'm not willing to compromise my design ideals. And
I would never want to play a 3D game system at native 240p/480i resolution
... but 1080p+ upscaling is not accurate, so that's a conflict I want
to avoid entirely. It's also never going to emulate computer systems
(X68K, PC-98, FM-Towns, etc) because holy shit that would completely
destroy me. It's also never going emulate arcade machines.
So I think of higan as a collection of 2D emulators for consoles
and handhelds. I've gone over every major 2D gaming system there is,
looking for ones with games I actually care about and enjoy. And I
basically have five of those systems supported already. Looking at the
remaining list, I see only three systems left that I have any interest
in whatsoever: PC-Engine, Master System, Mega Drive. Again, I'm not in
any way committing to emulating any of these, but ... if I had all of
those in higan, I think I'd be content to really, truly, finally stop
writing more emulators for the rest of my life.
And so I decided to tackle the most difficult system first. If I'm
successful, the Z80 core should cover a lot of the work on the SMS. And
the HuC6280 should land somewhere between the NES and SNES in terms of
difficulty ... closer to the NES.
The systems that just don't appeal to me at all, which I will never touch,
include, but are not limited to:
* Atari 2600/5200/7800
* Lynx
* Jaguar
* Vectrex
* Colecovision
* Commodore 64
* Neo-Geo
* Neo-Geo Pocket / Color
* Virtual Boy
* Super A'can
* 32X
* CD-i
* etc, etc, etc.
And really, even if something were mildly interesting in there ... we
have to stop. I can't scale infinitely. I'm already way past my limit,
but I'm doing this anyway. Too many cores bloats everything and kills
quality on everything. I don't want higan to become MESS v2.
I don't know what I'll do about the Famicom Disk System, PC-Engine CD,
and Mega CD. I don't think I'll be able to achieve 60fps emulating the
Mega CD, even if I tried to.
I don't know what's going to happen here with even the Mega Drive. Maybe
I'll get driven crazy with the documentation and quit. Maybe it'll end
up being too complicated and I'll quit. Maybe the emulation will end up
way too slow and I'll give up. Maybe it'll take me seven years to get
any games playable at all. Maybe Steve Snake, AamirM and Mike Pavone
will pool money to hire a hitman to come after me. Who knows.
But this is what I want to do, so ... here goes nothing.

Update to v102r16 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- Emulator::Stream now allows adding low-pass and high-pass filters
dynamically
- also accepts a pass# count; each pass is a second-order biquad
butterworth IIR filter
- Emulator::Stream no longer automatically filters out >20KHz
frequencies for all streams
- FC: added 20Hz high-pass filter; 20KHz low-pass filter
- GB: removed simple 'magic constant' high-pass filter of unknown
cutoff frequency (missed this one in the last WIP)
- GB,SGB,GBC: added 20Hz high-pass filter; 20KHz low-pass filter
- MS,GG,MD/PSG: added 20Hz high-pass filter; 20KHz low-pass filter
- MD: added save state support (but it's completely broken for now;
sorry)
- MD/YM2612: fixed Voice#3 per-operator pitch support (fixes sound
effects in Streets of Rage, etc)
- PCE: added 20Hz high-pass filter; 20KHz low-pass filter
- WS,WSC: added 20Hz high-pass filter; 20KHz low-pass filter
So, the point of the low-pass filters is to remove frequencies above
human hearing. If we don't do this, then resampling will introduce
aliasing that results in sounds that are audible to the human ear. Which
basically an annoying buzzing sound. You'll definitely hear the
improvement from these in games like Mega Man 2 on the NES. Of course,
these already existed before, so this WIP won't sound better than
previous WIPs.
The high-pass filters are a little more complicated. Their main role is
to remove DC bias and help to center the audio stream. I don't
understand how they do this at all, but ... that's what everyone who
knows what they're talking about says, thus ... so be it.
I have set all of the high-pass filters to 20Hz, which is below the
limit of human hearing. Now this is where it gets really interesting ...
technically, some of these systems actually cut off a lot of range. For
instance, the GBA should technically use an 800Hz high-pass filter when
output is done through the system's speakers. But of course, if you plug
in headphones, you can hear the lower frequencies.
Now 800Hz ... you definitely can hear. At that level, nearly all of the
bass is stripped out and the audio is very tinny. Just like the real
system. But for now, I don't want to emulate the audio being crushed
that badly.
I'm sticking with 20Hz everywhere since it won't negatively affect audio
quality. In fact, you should not be able to hear any difference between
this WIP and the previous WIP. But theoretically, DC bias should mostly
be removed as a result of these new filters. It may be that we need to
raise the values on some cores in the future, but I don't want to do
that until we know for certain that we have to.
What I can say is that compared to even older WIPs than r15 ... the
removal of the simple one-pole low-pass and high-pass filters with the
newer three-pass, second-order filters should result in much better
attenuation (less distortion of audible frequencies.) Probably not
enough to be noticeable in a blind test, though.

¹: so technically, the GBA has its FIFO queue (raw PCM), plus a GB
chipset. The GB audio runs at 2MHz. However, I was being lazy and
running the sequencer 64 times in a row, thus decimating the audio to
32KHz. But simply discarding 63 out of every 64 samples resorts in
muddier sound with more static in it.
However ... increasing the audio thread processing intensity 64-fold,
and requiring heavy-duty three-chain lowpass and highpass filters is not
cheap. For this bump in sound quality, we're eating a loss of about 30%
of previous performance.
Also note that the GB audio emulation in the GBA core still lacks many
of the improvements made to the GB core. I was hoping to complete the GB
enhancements, but it seems like I'm never going to pass blargg's
psychotic edge case tests. So, first I want to clean up the GB audio to
my current coding standards, and then I'll port that over to the GBA,
which should further increase sound quality. At that point, it sound
exceed mGBA's audio quality (due to the ridiculously high sampling rate
and strong-attenuation audio filtering.)
²: word writes are probably not handled correctly ... but games are
only supposed to do byte writes here.
³: the SRAM mapping is used by games like "Story of Thor" and
"Phantasy Star IV." Unfortunately, the former wasn't released in the US
and is region protected. So you'll need to change the NTSU to NTSCJ in
md/system/system.cpp in order to boot it. But it does work nicely now.
The write protection bit is cleared in the game, and then it fails to
write to SRAM (soooooooo many games with SRAM write protection do this),
so for now I've had to disable checking that bit. Phantasy Star IV has a
US release, but sadly the game doesn't boot yet. Hitting some other bug.
The bank mapping is pretty much just for the 40mbit Super Street Fighter
game. It shows the Sega and Capcom logos now, but is hitting yet another
bug and deadlocking.
For now, I emulate the SRAM/bank mapping registers on all cartridges,
and set sane defaults. So long as games don't write to $a130XX, they
should all continue to work. But obviously, we need to get to a point
where higan/icarus can selectively enable these registers on a per-game
basis.
⁴: so, the Mega Drive has various ways to lock a chip until another
chip releases it. The VDP can lock the 68K, the 68K can lock the Z80,
etc. If this happens when you save a state, it'll dead-lock the
emulator. So that's obviously a problem that needs to be fixed. The fix
will be nasty ... basically, bypassing the dead-lock, creating a
miniature, one-instruction-long race condition. Extremely unlikely to
cause any issues in practice (it's only a little worse than the SNES
CPU/SMP desync), but ... there's nothing I can do about it. So you'll
have to take it or leave it. But yeah, for now, save states may lock up
the emulator. I need to add code to break the loops when in the process
of creating a save state still.

Changelog:
- PCE: restructured VCE, VDCs to run one scanline at a time
- PCE: bound VDCs to 1365x262 timing (in order to decouple the VDCs
from the VCE)
- PCE: the two changes above allow save states to function; also
grants a minor speed boost
- PCE: added cheat code support (uses 21-bit bus addressing; compare
byte will be useful here)
- 68K: fixed `mov *,ccr` to read two bytes instead of one [Cydrak]
- Z80: emulated /BUSREQ, /BUSACK; allows 68K to suspend the Z80
[Cydrak]
- MD: emulated the Z80 executing instructions [Cydrak]
- MD: emulated Z80 interrupts (triggered during each Vblank period)
[Cydrak]
- MD: emulated Z80 memory map [Cydrak]
- MD: added stubs for PSG, YM2612 accesses [Cydrak]
- MD: improved bus emulation [Cydrak]
The PCE core is pretty much ready to go. The only major feature missing
is FM modulation.
The Mega Drive improvements let us start to see the splash screens for
Langrisser II, Shining Force, Shining in the Darkness. I was hoping I
could get them in-game, but no such luck. My Z80 implementation is
probably flawed in some way ... now that I think about it, I believe I
missed the BusAPU::reset() check for having been granted access to the
Z80 first. But I doubt that's the problem.
Next step is to implement Cydrak's PSG core into the Master System
emulator. Once that's in, I'm going to add save states and cheat code
support to the Master System core.
Next, I'll add the PSG core into the Mega Drive. Then I'll add the
'easy' PCM part of the YM2612. Then the rest of the beastly YM2612 core.
Then finally, cap things off with save state and cheat code support.
Should be nearing a new release at that point.

Update to v101r04 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- pulled the (u)intN type aliases into higan instead of leaving them
in nall
- added 68K LINEA, LINEF hooks for illegal instructions
- filled the rest of the 68K lambda table with generic instance of
ILLEGAL
- completed the 68K disassembler effective addressing modes
- still unsure whether I should use An to decode absolute
addresses or not
- pro: way easier to read where accesses are taking place
- con: requires An to be valid; so as a disassembler it does a
poor job
- making it optional: too much work; ick
- added I/O decoding for the VDP command-port registers
- added skeleton timing to all five processor cores
- output at 1280x480 (needed for mixed 256/320 widths; and to handle
interlace modes)
The VDP, PSG, Z80, YM2612 are all stepping one clock at a time and
syncing; which is the pathological worst case for libco. But they also
have no logic inside of them. With all the above, I'm averaging around
250fps with just the 68K core actually functional, and the VDP doing a
dumb "draw white pixels" loop. Still way too early to tell how this
emulator is going to perform.
Also, the 320x240 mode of the Genesis means that we don't need an aspect
correction ratio. But we do need to ensure the output window is a
multiple 320x240 so that the scale values work correctly. I was
hard-coding aspect correction to stretch the window an additional \*8/7.
But that won't work anymore so ... the main higan window is now 640x480,
960x720, or 1280x960. Toggling aspect correction only changes the video
width inside the window.
It's a bit jarring ... the window is a lot wider, more black space now
for most modes. But for now, it is what it is.

US release, but sadly the game doesn't boot yet. Hitting some other bug.
The bank mapping is pretty much just for the 40mbit Super Street Fighter
game. It shows the Sega and Capcom logos now, but is hitting yet another
bug and deadlocking.
For now, I emulate the SRAM/bank mapping registers on all cartridges,
and set sane defaults. So long as games don't write to $a130XX, they
should all continue to work. But obviously, we need to get to a point
where higan/icarus can selectively enable these registers on a per-game
basis.
⁴: so, the Mega Drive has various ways to lock a chip until another
chip releases it. The VDP can lock the 68K, the 68K can lock the Z80,
etc. If this happens when you save a state, it'll dead-lock the
emulator. So that's obviously a problem that needs to be fixed. The fix
will be nasty ... basically, bypassing the dead-lock, creating a
miniature, one-instruction-long race condition. Extremely unlikely to
cause any issues in practice (it's only a little worse than the SNES
CPU/SMP desync), but ... there's nothing I can do about it. So you'll
have to take it or leave it. But yeah, for now, save states may lock up
the emulator. I need to add code to break the loops when in the process
of creating a save state still.

Changelog:
- PCE: restructured VCE, VDCs to run one scanline at a time
- PCE: bound VDCs to 1365x262 timing (in order to decouple the VDCs
from the VCE)
- PCE: the two changes above allow save states to function; also
grants a minor speed boost
- PCE: added cheat code support (uses 21-bit bus addressing; compare
byte will be useful here)
- 68K: fixed `mov *,ccr` to read two bytes instead of one [Cydrak]
- Z80: emulated /BUSREQ, /BUSACK; allows 68K to suspend the Z80
[Cydrak]
- MD: emulated the Z80 executing instructions [Cydrak]
- MD: emulated Z80 interrupts (triggered during each Vblank period)
[Cydrak]
- MD: emulated Z80 memory map [Cydrak]
- MD: added stubs for PSG, YM2612 accesses [Cydrak]
- MD: improved bus emulation [Cydrak]
The PCE core is pretty much ready to go. The only major feature missing
is FM modulation.
The Mega Drive improvements let us start to see the splash screens for
Langrisser II, Shining Force, Shining in the Darkness. I was hoping I
could get them in-game, but no such luck. My Z80 implementation is
probably flawed in some way ... now that I think about it, I believe I
missed the BusAPU::reset() check for having been granted access to the
Z80 first. But I doubt that's the problem.
Next step is to implement Cydrak's PSG core into the Master System
emulator. Once that's in, I'm going to add save states and cheat code
support to the Master System core.
Next, I'll add the PSG core into the Mega Drive. Then I'll add the
'easy' PCM part of the YM2612. Then the rest of the beastly YM2612 core.
Then finally, cap things off with save state and cheat code support.
Should be nearing a new release at that point.

¹: so technically, the GBA has its FIFO queue (raw PCM), plus a GB
chipset. The GB audio runs at 2MHz. However, I was being lazy and
running the sequencer 64 times in a row, thus decimating the audio to
32KHz. But simply discarding 63 out of every 64 samples resorts in
muddier sound with more static in it.
However ... increasing the audio thread processing intensity 64-fold,
and requiring heavy-duty three-chain lowpass and highpass filters is not
cheap. For this bump in sound quality, we're eating a loss of about 30%
of previous performance.
Also note that the GB audio emulation in the GBA core still lacks many
of the improvements made to the GB core. I was hoping to complete the GB
enhancements, but it seems like I'm never going to pass blargg's
psychotic edge case tests. So, first I want to clean up the GB audio to
my current coding standards, and then I'll port that over to the GBA,
which should further increase sound quality. At that point, it sound
exceed mGBA's audio quality (due to the ridiculously high sampling rate
and strong-attenuation audio filtering.)
²: word writes are probably not handled correctly ... but games are
only supposed to do byte writes here.
³: the SRAM mapping is used by games like "Story of Thor" and
"Phantasy Star IV." Unfortunately, the former wasn't released in the US
and is region protected. So you'll need to change the NTSU to NTSCJ in
md/system/system.cpp in order to boot it. But it does work nicely now.
The write protection bit is cleared in the game, and then it fails to
write to SRAM (soooooooo many games with SRAM write protection do this),
so for now I've had to disable checking that bit. Phantasy Star IV has a
US release, but sadly the game doesn't boot yet. Hitting some other bug.

Update to v100r02 release.
byuu says:
Sigh ... I'm really not a good person. I'm inherently selfish.
My responsibility and obligation right now is to work on loki, and
then on the Tengai Makyou Zero translation, and then on improving the
Famicom emulation.
And yet ... it's not what I really want to do. That shouldn't matter;
I should work on my responsibilities first.
Instead, I'm going to be a greedy, self-centered asshole, and work on
what I really want to instead.
I'm really sorry, guys. I'm sure this will make a few people happy,
and probably upset even more people.
I'm also making zero guarantees that this ever gets finished. As always,
I wish I could keep these things secret, so if I fail / give up, I could
just drop it with no shame. But I would have to cut everyone out of the
WIP process completely to make it happen. So, here goes ...
This WIP adds the initial skeleton for Sega Mega Drive / Genesis
emulation. God help us.
(minor note: apparently the new extension for Mega Drive games is .md,
neat. That's what I chose for the folders too. I thought it was .smd,
so that'll be fixed in icarus for the next WIP.)
(aside: this is why I wanted to get v100 out. I didn't want this code in
a skeleton state in v100's source. Nor did I want really broken emulation,
which the first release is sure to be, tarring said release.)
...
So, basically, I've been ruminating on the legacy I want to leave behind
with higan. 3D systems are just plain out. I'm never going to support
them. They're too complex for my abilities, and they would run too slowly
with my design style. I'm not willing to compromise my design ideals. And
I would never want to play a 3D game system at native 240p/480i resolution
... but 1080p+ upscaling is not accurate, so that's a conflict I want
to avoid entirely. It's also never going to emulate computer systems
(X68K, PC-98, FM-Towns, etc) because holy shit that would completely
destroy me. It's also never going emulate arcade machines.
So I think of higan as a collection of 2D emulators for consoles
and handhelds. I've gone over every major 2D gaming system there is,
looking for ones with games I actually care about and enjoy. And I
basically have five of those systems supported already. Looking at the
remaining list, I see only three systems left that I have any interest
in whatsoever: PC-Engine, Master System, Mega Drive. Again, I'm not in
any way committing to emulating any of these, but ... if I had all of
those in higan, I think I'd be content to really, truly, finally stop
writing more emulators for the rest of my life.
And so I decided to tackle the most difficult system first. If I'm
successful, the Z80 core should cover a lot of the work on the SMS. And
the HuC6280 should land somewhere between the NES and SNES in terms of
difficulty ... closer to the NES.
The systems that just don't appeal to me at all, which I will never touch,
include, but are not limited to:
* Atari 2600/5200/7800
* Lynx
* Jaguar
* Vectrex
* Colecovision
* Commodore 64
* Neo-Geo
* Neo-Geo Pocket / Color
* Virtual Boy
* Super A'can
* 32X
* CD-i
* etc, etc, etc.
And really, even if something were mildly interesting in there ... we
have to stop. I can't scale infinitely. I'm already way past my limit,
but I'm doing this anyway. Too many cores bloats everything and kills
quality on everything. I don't want higan to become MESS v2.
I don't know what I'll do about the Famicom Disk System, PC-Engine CD,
and Mega CD. I don't think I'll be able to achieve 60fps emulating the
Mega CD, even if I tried to.
I don't know what's going to happen here with even the Mega Drive. Maybe
I'll get driven crazy with the documentation and quit. Maybe it'll end
up being too complicated and I'll quit. Maybe the emulation will end up
way too slow and I'll give up. Maybe it'll take me seven years to get
any games playable at all. Maybe Steve Snake, AamirM and Mike Pavone
will pool money to hire a hitman to come after me. Who knows.
But this is what I want to do, so ... here goes nothing.
